Summary
The Fatwa Committee meeting resolved that staff appointed by As-Sahabah Urus Zakat Sdn. Bhd. may validly carry out zakat collection and distribution. They need not be individually appointed as amil by MAINPP, because they are employees of the appointed amil and are paid from the amil fee the company receives. The Yang di-Pertua of MAINPP is authorised to appoint As-Sahabah, and As-Sahabah appoints its staff.
